Been thinking about where we might procure that striker who will fire us to promotion, the gamble of taking players from foreign leagues and all the bad and good signings we've made from abroad. Which were the best, not purely in terms of ability - i.e. Boksic, Juninho - but in terms of what we paid when we paid it? Early signings like Heine Otto, Bosko and later Fjortoft spring to mind, though JAF doesn't count as, like Viduka, Haselbaink etc, he was signed from a UK team. Then later Quedrue, Nsue were unlikely bargain basement stars from overseas. On the other side, you have flops like Reiziger, Barragan, Espinoza, Karembeu. I recall having high hopes for youtube sensations Tarmo Kink and Viktor Fischer...oh dear.
It's a big gamble for sure. Will they settle, will they suit the English style of play?
What are posters' best and worst?
